The first Deputy Prime Minister Radimir Cacic has said that a halt in declining living standards can be expected in the second half of 2013, and that a positive growth is likely to occur by the end of the term of the incumbent government.
"The economic downturn is likely to be reversed in the second half of the next year, and a growth by the end of the term. We are simply carrying too much burden. Previous debts in the amount of HRK 3.2 billion will be rolled over to 2013, "Cacic told the commercial Nova TV on Thursday evening.
